Festiva/ Choir To Sing 'Messiah' During
Thursday Morning Chapel Presentation
Bethel Education Board
Limits Total Enrollment
Entering freshman classes at Bethel will continue to be limited
to 350 students, according to policy decisions made by the Bethel
Board of Education at their mid-year meeting in Waukegan, Illinois.
Crowded conditions on the present campus necessitate these restrictions,
which will result in a total of 1100 enrolled students next year and in
subsequent years until the movement onto the new campus.
Administrative proposals to the Board listed the specific areas in
which crowded facilities are causing a "squeeze." Most noticeable
is the housing and feeding problem. 500 students can presently fill the
living space in dormitories, honor houses, and the Idaho Manor apart-ments.
Private dwellings in the immediate area house 296 additional
students for whom there is not room in college-operated facilities.
Married students and commuters constitute the remaining percentage
of the student body. The difficulties inherent in taking more students
into the college are easily seen because those presently enrolled are
crowding the available dwelling space.
Students swarming to the Post Office between classes and after chapel is a classic example of the
crowded conditions on the campus.
Bethel Debates
At St. Thomas
by Kathy Harvie
The Bethel Debate Team com-peted
in the Twin Cities Debate
Tournament at The College of St.
Thomas on Dec. 8.
The topic at this tournament,
as at all debate meets this year,
was: Resolved, that Law Enforce-ment
Agencies in the United State
be given greater freedom in the
investigation and prosecution of
crime.
This tournament was unusual in
that it was a cross - examination
debate. After each ten-minute con-structive
speech by each of the
4 debaters, one of the opposing
team members had a three minute
questioning period.
The total of nine minutes of
questioning during the debate al-lows
everyone the opportunity to
question as well as answer. By
means of this examination a sharp
debater can make the opposition
admit to an inconsistent, invalid,
or weak argument in his position.
Together with Shirley Arbor,
Ken Collins, Steve Nelson, Jeani
Stephens, Gene Peterson, Kathy
Harvie, Dave Nydegger, Jim Palm-quist,
Becki Beek, Corinne Leppke,
Joe Beitler, Bill Jackson, Dawson
McAllister and Denny Smith repre-sented
the Bethel B division with a
total score of 8 wins, 10 losses.
In the A division, Sharon Larson,
Tim Williams, Paul Johnson, and
Eva Swanson had a total 2-4 score.
College Faculty
To Teach Old T
Bethel College and Seminary has
announced the addition of a new
faculty member to its staff. Mr.
Arthur H. Lewis has been invited
to Bethel to teach Old Testament
History.
Mr. Lewis received his B.A. from
Wheaton College and his B.D. from
the seminary at Gordon Divinity
College.
A man of astonishing capabili-ties
and accomplishments, and an
ardent Hebrew scholar, he has
also received an M.A. in Hebrew
from Harvard University.
He is now writing his doctoral
dissertation for the completion of
his Ph.D. in Hebrew at Brandeis
University, under Dr. Cyrus Gor-don.
Mr. Lewis has also done ex-tensive
graduate work at both
Heidelberg and Coimbra Univer-sities.
A man of no small achievements,
Mr. Lewis has spent twelve years
with the Conservative Baptist for-eign
missionary society, teaching
and training at the Leiria Baptist
Theological Seminary in Leiria,
The Music Department will pre-sent
the Christmas portion of Han-del's
Messiah in chapel this week.
The Festival Choir, under the
direction of Mr. Oliver Mogck, in-structor
in voice, will present the
concert at a convocation in the
Fieldhouse on Thursday, December
16, at 9:45 a.m.
The choir, which consists of
approximately two hundred mem-bers,
will feature four solo
voices: LaVon Brauer, soprano;
Nola Schmiess, soprano; James
Magnuson, tenor; and Jonathon
Larson, bass.
Accompanist for this third an-nual
performance of the Messiah
on the Bethel campus will be
Nancy Nelson, piano, and Mrs.
Ruth Fardig, organ.
The theme of the Messiah is
entirely religious, yet completely
nondenominational. It can be a-dapted
to any person's concept
of the redemptive work of God.
This characteristic has made it the
Portugal, where he was the pro-fessor
of Hebrew and Old Testa-ment
History.
Mr. Lewis went to Portugal
not only in the capacity of a
missionary teacher, but also to
train men to take his place in
the seminary when he left. Un-der
his direction, the seminary
eventually became self-sufficient.
Mr. Lewis was so well liked
by the Portugese that he was the
last man to leave the seminary be-fore
it became completely inde-pendent.
Mr. Lewis, 42, is a married man
and has a family of three children.
His wife, a talented and versatile
person, will also add much to the
life of the school.
Bethel College is very honored
to welcome a man with such a
wide field of experience to its
ranks.
In view of the fact that Mr.
Lewis chose to come to Bethel
despite similar offers from other
colleges and universities, the col-lege
feels even more fortunate to
have added him to its staff.
wide-spread favorite that it has
become.
The MESSIAH begins with
"Comfort ye, my people." It goes
from that into the conception of
Mary, the shepherds in the field,
and the chorus of angels singing,
"Glory to God in the Highest."
From the traditional Christmas
story it goes on into the cruci-fixion
scene. It tells about our
hope of salvation through His
death: "And with His stripes we
are healed."
It also shows that we need this
salvation in the chorus "All we
like sheep have gone astray." The
second part ends with the great
"Hallelujah Chorus."
The third section of the MES-SIAH
is one of victory and
praise. "I know that my Re-deemer
liveth." It looks forward
to the second coming of Christ:
"The trumpet shall sound."
The Messiah was composed in
1741. Handel conducted it in Dublin
after three weeks of. composing.
It is said that the king was so
moved by the final "Hallelujah
Chorus" that he rose to his feet.
This practice is commonly observed
today.
Monday afternoon the Festival
Choir recorded various selections
A nationwide competitive exami-nation

and soprano solo passages sung by
LaVon Brauer.
The music will be aired by the
station during the Christmas sea-son.
Mr. Webster Muck is the act-ing
Dean of Students for Bethel
College.
by bean Webster Muck
The Student Senate has inquired
into the rationale that formed the
basis for the handling of the
false fire alarm quintet, and I am
delighted to respond.
A false alarm is an immediate
offense against three segments of
the population:
1. The dormitory, or those who
hear the alarm;
2. The college, or those whose rules
and constituency are affected; and
3. The community, or the civil
mailed to the Civil Service Com-mission,
Washington, D.C., 20415,
before January 3, 1966, to enable
the candidate to take the 21/2 hour
written test which will be given in
various cities on a Saturday in late
January or early February of 1966.
The test, which is scheduled to
be given only once, is designed to
measure clerical skills, vocabulary,
reading comprehension, abstract
reasoning, and table and chart in-terpretation.
Sample questions will
be provided in advance.
All citizens will be given equal
opportunity to compete in the
nationwide examination. Those
who pass the test will be per-mitted
to file applications for
summer work with as many as
six Federal agencies or installa-tions.
Most opportunities for summer
jobs are expected to be in the
Washington, D.C. area.
The food service faces even
greater difficulties. Bodien dining
hall was built to feed almost ex-actly
as many students as it does
at each meal. Actually, if all stu-dents
on the meal plan ate at all
serving times, the dining halls
would be greatly overtaxed.
Fortunately, partial cures for the
feeding-housing problems will be
available next autumn. Three new
apartments on the seminary cam-pus
for married students, mostly
all of whom are seminarians, will
be completed by then. This will
leave present married housing open
entirely to college use.
Officials expect to move male
undergraduates into these apart-ments,
thus making residences and
cooking facilities available to them
at the same time.
Other space problems on the
Snelling Avenue campus involve
academic facilities. The library

cont'd on page three
group whose property and property-protecting
apparatus is involved
or threatened.
The punishment of the group
then must answer to the nature of
the offense:
1. There must be some compensa-tion,
probably only symbolic in
nature, to the dormitory, as redress
for the wear and tear occasioned
by the nocturnal foray.
2. Some indication needs to be
made that the offenders have
slipped somewhere on the cor-tinuum
from "students in good
standing" to a status closer to
"individuals requested to dis-continue
schooling." In other
words, a certain amount of grace
has been exhausted, and closer
watch will be made to see what
future behavior is; also, that
behavior will be more rigorously
judged.
3. An effort must be made to
develop some insight into the prob-lems
of the larger community: few
college students see themselves as
part of St. Paul, and this omission
needs to be rectified.
Then there comes the problem
of the publicity for such an event.
The Student Service Office has
always taken the position that dis-ciplinary
matters should not be
widely heralded. Only those who
are directly associated with the
event and the offenders get word
from the Office.
Nevertheless, the student body,
the faculty, and the constituency
all have a stake in such matters,
and deserve to hear more than the
defensive, crusading reaction that
often characterizes offenders.

Heritage Evaluated For
`Social Consciousness'
The fourth session of the Vatican Council, which ended
last week, has already had a profound effect on Catholics and
Protestants alike. The religious liberty decree, guaranteeing
every man the right to believe according to his conscience,
is a major breakthrough in the Council's undertakings in the
interest of Christian unity.
On campus, Sherwood Wirt, the editor of Decision maga-zine,
seemed to be priming the pump by informing Monday's
chapel audience that young evangelicals are one of the most
ecumenically minded groups he knows.
Meanwhile, in explaining why the Vatican Council set
up branches of the church to carry on a dialog with other
Christians, other non-Christian religions and even with un-believers,
Francois Houtart, Friday's distinguished Roman
Catholic visitor, had said, "We have to see in the church
that we are living in a civilization of change and then to be
aware that all INSTITUTIONS wanting to be meaningful in
such a society must INSTITUTIONALIZE the possibility of
change." (italics mine)
On the other hand, the ecumenical-type thesis for Editor
Wirt's message on "Evangelicals' Social Consciousness" was,
"If the evangelical sense of fellowship is as wide as the love of
God in Christ, so is his social outlook."
Now the editor is glad for the spirit of Mr. Wirt's remarks,
but the concept of evangelical "social consciousness" as de-rived
from our "developing" ecumenical spirit is a little too
glibly drawn.
Evangelical Protestants bring an historically distinctive
socio-theological tradition to bear in dialog with, for example,
Roman Catholics: a conception of salvation as an INDIVI-DUAL,
personal, direct encounter with God.
A group of believers who call each other priests find it
hard to commend "social consciousness"-type programs as
other than "low ceiling-ed" unless they are predicated on
individual spiritual redemption.
Hopefully, it is with the twentieth century imperative
of finding theological rationale for "social consciousness"-type
programs in their own right that dialog with the post-conciliar
INSTITUTIONAL Roman Church may help us. The embryonic,
but popular, evangelical "social consciousness" needs at least
a degree of resolution for its intellectual schizophrenia.
Huxley's Post-World War 111 Satire
Is Attack On Scientism And Religion
by Fred Lund
"If this answer seems to you to
be too highly commendatory, do
not think we are just flattering.
We have had several students over
the past years, and are frank to
say that in some cases the effort
was in no way justified, and our
evaluation has been critical.
"I think I speak for my col-leagues
. . . when I say . . . were
all participants like this one, we
could give the program an unquali-fied
endorsement."
The above quotation from one
of the missionaries expresses the
sentiment of all. Each missionary
spoke very highly of the caliber
and attitude of the student per-sonnel.
They concluded that if
the Bethel program could send
students of this quality every
year, they would be more than
willing to continue with the pro-gram.
Such comments say a lot for last
year's selection committee in its
choice of personnel. These students
not only performed the task of
aiding in the field work whole-heartedly,
but demonstrated their
willingness to actively identify with
the people, greatly impressing the
missionaries.
A significant aim of this pro-gram
is to give students an op-portunity
to clarify their relation-ship
to the missionary enterprise.
Of the eight who went out, five
were planning on full-time mis-sionary
service before they left.
Four of these came back even
more commited to missionary
enterprise.
A fifth had his concept of for-eign
missions significantly alter-by

Aldous Huxley, Ape and Essence, Bantam
Books, New York, 1948.
Huxley employs biting Juvenal-ian
satire as he portrays post-World
War III man in Ape and Essence.
Scientism and religion come under
merciless attack. Although the
work is a fantasy, the reader must
ask himself how much truth under-lies
the society Huxley reveals.
Certainly the book is a warning.
Speaking through the guise of the
narrator, Huxley assesses the grim
result of collective insanity:
For this other death — not by
plague this time, not by poison,
not by fire, not by artificially
induced cancer, but by the squa-lid
disintegration of the very
substance of the species — this
gruesome and infinitely unher-oic
death in birth could as well
be the product of atomic indus-try
as of atomic war.
Huxley's mesage is powerful
and disturbing. Mistakes are real
and conceivably could result in
the war which has not yet been
fought.

vary." Aboard the ship are scien-tists
of the New Zealand Rediscov-ery
Expedition.
.Action centers around Dr. Al-fred
Poole (known as Stagnant
Poole), a botanist who persuades
Belial's Arch Vicar to spare his life
by promising to improve crops in
devastated California.
Poole, the son of a clergyman,
steps into a shocking society in
which Belial rules through fear
and force and in which all hu-man
desires are suppressed. It
is Belial Eve, time of the Puri-fication
Ceremonies. Loola ex-plains
to the uninitiated Poole,
"Hell, your priests don't let the
deformed babies go on living, do
they?"
According to Belial catechism,
Mother (Vessel of the Unholy
Spirit) is the curse of the race who
bears "this monstrous mockery of
a man." Atonement can be effected
only through blood. Hence this
liquidation.
Belial Day signals the opening
of the annual two week mating
season. All males go wild, tearing
off the women's red "NO, NO, NO"
patches and chastity aprons. Poole,
still struggling with his puritan
conscience, is repulsed by the orgy.
But he weakens at the sight
of Loola. "You're not like these
other people—thank God," he
tells her "You're still a human
being . . . with normal human
feelings."
Together they experience a re-fined
love, a redemption of sorts.
At the peril of their lives, they
flee from the dominion of Belial
across the California desert.
Poole and Loola look for the day
"when something stronger than He
(Belial)" will triumph. Loola lam-ents,
"But that's far away in the
future." Poole replies, "For the
whole world, yes. But not for sin-gle
individuals, not for you or me,
for example."
The scene draws neatly to its
conclusion as Poole and Loola,
staggering across the hot sands,
come upon the grave of William
Tallis. Lines from Shelley com-prise
his epitaph.
Poole recites the stanza follow-ing
that engraved on the stone:
That Light whose smile kindles
the Universe
. . . that sustaining Love .. .
The fire for which all thirst, now
beams on me
Consuming the last clouds of
cold mortality.
Meaning of life comes through
love — love qualitatively different
from that chanted by the baboon-girl
in the opening scene.
Huxley sets forth a strong plea
for individual and collective san-ity;
for serious appraisal of blind
faith—whether in progress, human
goodness, religious creed or what-ever.
The novelist conceives in fan-tasy.
But how real is his message?
If the seeds of Ape and Essence
mentality exist within us, wherein
lies redemption for humanity?

'Twas the Night Before Christmas
A drama in one act
Scene: a father is tucking his little daughter into bed and she looks up
into his eyes and asks —
Christina: Daddy?
Father: Yes, Christina.
Christina: Is there a Santa Claus?
Father: Of course there is, dear.
Christina: But, how come I never see him?
Father: He works very secretly while no one can see him. Don't worry
about not seeing him. You know he's been here by the presents
he's left.
Christina: But I don't get everything I ask him for in my letters.
Father: I know, but he's a pretty wise old man. He just gives you the
things you especially need. After all, he must take care of all the
other little children around the world.
Christina: Daddy, will Santa bring me presents this year?
Father: If you're good. Santa keeps track of what you do. Everyone knows
that he gives nice gifts to all the children who are nice little boys
and girls.
Christina: Why?
Father: I guess because he's such a loving and good fellow—sort of like
grandpa.
Christina: Oh. Daddy, why don't we hear about Santa except at Christmas?
Father: Well, honey, I guess that's the only time he is really busy. The
rest of the time he is at his home making toys and candy canes and
thinking nice things about good little girls like you. He's too nice to
interrupt our lives all through the year. He just watches.
Christina: Where is Santa's home?
Father: Far, far away, in a land of sparkling snow and candy floss. He
lives in a beautiful house with little elves working for him.
Christina: Daddy, are you sure there is a Santa?
Father: Yes, dear. Wherever the hearts of sweet little boys and girls
dream dreams and hope hopes, there is a Santa Claus. Just think
of all the wonderful things about Christmas—the lights, the tree,
the candy, the presents. Doesn't the warm glow of your heart tell
you there is a Santa?
Christina: I guess so. Thank you.
Father: Good night, dear.
Christina: Daddy?
E ather: What now.
Christina: Is there a God?
Father: Yes, Christina, there is a God. I just told you. Now, go to sleep.

see the need for restriction of
enrollment. Both the ingenuity of
Bethel professors in handling of
unideal facilities and the record
of students for living off-campus
are commendable.

Show 'Parable'
The Bethel College Royal Play-ers
will sponsor "Parable", a
thought-provoking religious film,
on campus January 11. Following
the film a panel, composed of Dr.
Dalphy Fagerstrom, Mr. Robert C.
Nelson, Rev. Albert M. Windom,
pastor of Bethany Baptist Church,
and senior Bob Drake will discuss
the film.
"The Parable", according to Bob
Drake, is an attempted explana-tion
which takes place in the
heart of man when he receives,
that is, "accepts" salvation. "It is
an anthropological, ethical, inter-pretation
of salvation; it illustrates
the role of the believer once he
has entered the Christian dimen-sion."
Students are encouraged to in-teract
during the panel discussion.

If last week's intramural bas-ketball
was any indication of what
is in store for the rest of the
season, we can predict a great
fight for the championship. Two
games were decided by one point,
another by three, and a fourth was
not completed because of an in-jury.
The Counts, with three players
in double figures, outplayed the
Barons to win 61-47. A great in-dividual
effort was made by Paul
Johnson, who scored 21 points in
the winning cause.
Bill Malyon of the Knights was
high scorer of the night with 22
points, but it was in a losing
cause as the Dukes held onto the
ball in the last few seconds and
won 54-51. Tom Anderson and
Rich Theil led the Dukes with 17
and 12 points respectively.
The Squires, in a very hard
fought game, overcame the Peas-ants
by one point, 49-48. Terry
Muck, the Squire's lirst round
Wednesday, December 15, 1965
draft choice, led the team with 12
points and came up with some key
plays in the closing minutes.
The Peasants took an early lead
but were unable to hold it. Again
at the half the Peasants went out
in front by a considerable margin,
but the Squires came back to win
in the final few seconds.
The Jesters, led by Paul and
Phil Wicklund, overcame the de-fending
champion Pages by the
score of 40-39. The Pages were
troubled with fouls, as high scor-er
Dave Anderson and captain
John Carmean fouled out in the
closing minutes of the game.
The Faculty led the Seminary
by ten points, but Coach Healy
was injured and because it was
impossible to remove him from the
floor immediately the game was
cancelled.
All these games can only point
to one thing, this year will be a
thrilling year for Intramural Bas-ketball.
Women Cagers
Win First Game
The women's basketball team
played their first game Thursday
evening at Northwestern College
of Minneapolis, winning 42-31.
With the score tied at 27 points
at the end of the third quarter,
Bethel raced ahead with a free
throw and three consecutive field
goals made by Barb Lindman.
Holding Northwestern to 31
points, Bethel made four more field
goals to win the game.

The alert Bethel Royals employ-ed
a pressing defense and dis-played
fine scoring balance to de-feat
Wahpeton Science 82-71. The
win put the Royals at the 2-3 mark
for the season.
Bethel jumped off to a 3-0 lead,
but the two teams traded buckets
until the score was knotted at
nine-all after six minutes. From
this stage the Royals were never
behind although the stubborn
"Wahpetonites" closed the gap to
one point at 23-22 with nine min-utes
remaining in the first half.
BETHEL TROUNCES
EAU CLAIRE
The Bethel Royals, shooting at
the rate of 50% played superb
basketball, walking off with a
110.84 victory over Eau Claire.
The Royals were lead by Ron
Pederson with 31 points. All five
starters scored in double figures
with four of them over 20. The
Royals controlled the rebounds,
getting 60 to Eau Claire's 45.
They also played good defense,
stealing the ball 12 times in the
first half.
Within the next six minutes, a
George Palke-led surge shot the
Royals out in front to the tune
of 40-27. Shortly after, Bethel
went to the dressing room with
a 43-33 halftime margin.
Freshman Ron Pederson and Jun-ior
Cabot Dow led an early second
half spurt to give the Royals their
biggest edge at 65-48 with 13 min-utes
to play.
Wahpeton was hurt somewhat
at this juncture when its ace re-bounder
Tom Hagen picked up his
fourth foul. Hagen led all the re-bounders
with 16, and showed
some fine moves while scoring 15
points.
Both Dow and Jerry Moulton
rifled in from the outside to
enable Pederson and Palke to
score from the inside. While Ped-erson
and Palke led the Bethel
scoring parade with 17 and 16
points respectively, it was the
fine play of reserve guard Cabot
Dow on defense as well as of-fense,
that pleased assistant
coach Lee Bajuniemi.
On the attack Dow bombed most
of his 12 points from the outside;
while on defense, he stole the ball
numerous times and prevented sev-eral
sure Wahpeton buckets. Jerry
Moulton also hit double figures
with 11, and in addition every
Royal scored who saw action.
This strong balance, however,
was needed to offset the stellar
21 point performance of John Nord-gaard,
who was a constant pest to
the Royal defense.
While Wahpeton took 85 shots
and potted 25 for 29.8%, Bethel
took 80 shots and sent 29 home
for 36.3%.
Coach Bajuniemi (filling in for
cast-laden Coach Healy), noted in
addition to his team's overall bal-ance
and fine defense, that the
Royals quick and accurate passing,
forced the Redmen of Wahpeton
to come out of their zone defense
shortly before intermission.

If you haven't already heard,
Bethel's wrestlers lost their first
match to St. Thomas by a score
of 9-14 Dec. 7.
Going into the match the 123
pound wrestler, Bob Baffa, thought
that he had a forfeit because it
appeared St. Thomas didn't have
a 123 pound wrestler. The way it
turned out, Baffa should have for-feited.
He lost by a pin in the
second period.
Denny Nyholm grappled to a
6-3 loss in the 130 pound class.
Ron Harris duplicated Baffa's
feat in about the same time of
the third period. Mike Warring
put the Royal matmen on the
right track by winning his match
5-0 in a very determined effort.
Danny Wilson achieved the only
pin for Bethel in the 152 pound
class by putting his man away in
the third period. Paul Anderson
tried and tried to get a pin for
Bethel but had to be satisfied with
a 7-2 victory.
John Benson, showing the
strength of a bull, beat his man
on points to make the score St.
Thomas 13; Bethel 14. Bruce Arm-strong
showed determination and
aggressiveness, but lost his match
6-4 to give St. Thomas a two point
lead.
Warren Johnson ended Bethel's
chances by losing a close match
3-1. This gives Bethel wrestlers
a 1 win and 1 loss record.
Wednesday, Dec. 15, they will
meet Riverfalls at Riverfalls. They
hope to give the home fans some-thing
to come out and see at
their first home match against
Northland, January 8, 1966.
Royals Display Scoring Balance
In Win Over Wahpeton Science
by Bob Baffa
It looks as if Bethel is having a rough time this year in mustering
together a winning team. Neither the football or cross country teams
could manage a .500 season. To date Bethel's basketball and wrestling
teams aren't fairing over .500.
But don't lose faith! There's one team that is undefeated (as of
this writing). If you haven't guessed it already, I'm going to tell you.
It's the girl's basketball team.
We don't know for certain if it's because of hard practices, rough
play, or fear. But we do know that before each game each of these
girls reads a poem called "Thinking." It goes like this:
If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you like to win, but think you can't
It's almost certain, you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost,
For out of the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will,
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you are out-classed, you are.
You've got to think to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself,
Before you can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or the faster man,
But, soon or late, the man who wins,
Is the man who thinks he can.
Take heart fellows! The basketball and wrestling seasons have just
begun. You're not licked yet! But if you think you are . . .

Festiva/ Choir To Sing 'Messiah' During
Thursday Morning Chapel Presentation
Bethel Education Board
Limits Total Enrollment
Entering freshman classes at Bethel will continue to be limited
to 350 students, according to policy decisions made by the Bethel
Board of Education at their mid-year meeting in Waukegan, Illinois.
Crowded conditions on the present campus necessitate these restrictions,
which will result in a total of 1100 enrolled students next year and in
subsequent years until the movement onto the new campus.
Administrative proposals to the Board listed the specific areas in
which crowded facilities are causing a "squeeze." Most noticeable
is the housing and feeding problem. 500 students can presently fill the
living space in dormitories, honor houses, and the Idaho Manor apart-ments.
Private dwellings in the immediate area house 296 additional
students for whom there is not room in college-operated facilities.
Married students and commuters constitute the remaining percentage
of the student body. The difficulties inherent in taking more students
into the college are easily seen because those presently enrolled are
crowding the available dwelling space.
Students swarming to the Post Office between classes and after chapel is a classic example of the
crowded conditions on the campus.
Bethel Debates
At St. Thomas
by Kathy Harvie
The Bethel Debate Team com-peted
in the Twin Cities Debate
Tournament at The College of St.
Thomas on Dec. 8.
The topic at this tournament,
as at all debate meets this year,
was: Resolved, that Law Enforce-ment
Agencies in the United State
be given greater freedom in the
investigation and prosecution of
crime.
This tournament was unusual in
that it was a cross - examination
debate. After each ten-minute con-structive
speech by each of the
4 debaters, one of the opposing
team members had a three minute
questioning period.
The total of nine minutes of
questioning during the debate al-lows
everyone the opportunity to
question as well as answer. By
means of this examination a sharp
debater can make the opposition
admit to an inconsistent, invalid,
or weak argument in his position.
Together with Shirley Arbor,
Ken Collins, Steve Nelson, Jeani
Stephens, Gene Peterson, Kathy
Harvie, Dave Nydegger, Jim Palm-quist,
Becki Beek, Corinne Leppke,
Joe Beitler, Bill Jackson, Dawson
McAllister and Denny Smith repre-sented
the Bethel B division with a
total score of 8 wins, 10 losses.
In the A division, Sharon Larson,
Tim Williams, Paul Johnson, and
Eva Swanson had a total 2-4 score.
College Faculty
To Teach Old T
Bethel College and Seminary has
announced the addition of a new
faculty member to its staff. Mr.
Arthur H. Lewis has been invited
to Bethel to teach Old Testament
History.
Mr. Lewis received his B.A. from
Wheaton College and his B.D. from
the seminary at Gordon Divinity
College.
A man of astonishing capabili-ties
and accomplishments, and an
ardent Hebrew scholar, he has
also received an M.A. in Hebrew
from Harvard University.
He is now writing his doctoral
dissertation for the completion of
his Ph.D. in Hebrew at Brandeis
University, under Dr. Cyrus Gor-don.
Mr. Lewis has also done ex-tensive
graduate work at both
Heidelberg and Coimbra Univer-sities.
A man of no small achievements,
Mr. Lewis has spent twelve years
with the Conservative Baptist for-eign
missionary society, teaching
and training at the Leiria Baptist
Theological Seminary in Leiria,
The Music Department will pre-sent
the Christmas portion of Han-del's
Messiah in chapel this week.
The Festival Choir, under the
direction of Mr. Oliver Mogck, in-structor
in voice, will present the
concert at a convocation in the
Fieldhouse on Thursday, December
16, at 9:45 a.m.
The choir, which consists of
approximately two hundred mem-bers,
will feature four solo
voices: LaVon Brauer, soprano;
Nola Schmiess, soprano; James
Magnuson, tenor; and Jonathon
Larson, bass.
Accompanist for this third an-nual
performance of the Messiah
on the Bethel campus will be
Nancy Nelson, piano, and Mrs.
Ruth Fardig, organ.
The theme of the Messiah is
entirely religious, yet completely
nondenominational. It can be a-dapted
to any person's concept
of the redemptive work of God.
This characteristic has made it the
Portugal, where he was the pro-fessor
of Hebrew and Old Testa-ment
History.
Mr. Lewis went to Portugal
not only in the capacity of a
missionary teacher, but also to
train men to take his place in
the seminary when he left. Un-der
his direction, the seminary
eventually became self-sufficient.
Mr. Lewis was so well liked
by the Portugese that he was the
last man to leave the seminary be-fore
it became completely inde-pendent.
Mr. Lewis, 42, is a married man
and has a family of three children.
His wife, a talented and versatile
person, will also add much to the
life of the school.
Bethel College is very honored
to welcome a man with such a
wide field of experience to its
ranks.
In view of the fact that Mr.
Lewis chose to come to Bethel
despite similar offers from other
colleges and universities, the col-lege
feels even more fortunate to
have added him to its staff.
wide-spread favorite that it has
become.
The MESSIAH begins with
"Comfort ye, my people." It goes
from that into the conception of
Mary, the shepherds in the field,
and the chorus of angels singing,
"Glory to God in the Highest."
From the traditional Christmas
story it goes on into the cruci-fixion
scene. It tells about our
hope of salvation through His
death: "And with His stripes we
are healed."
It also shows that we need this
salvation in the chorus "All we
like sheep have gone astray." The
second part ends with the great
"Hallelujah Chorus."
The third section of the MES-SIAH
is one of victory and
praise. "I know that my Re-deemer
liveth." It looks forward
to the second coming of Christ:
"The trumpet shall sound."
The Messiah was composed in
1741. Handel conducted it in Dublin
after three weeks of. composing.
It is said that the king was so
moved by the final "Hallelujah
Chorus" that he rose to his feet.
This practice is commonly observed
today.
Monday afternoon the Festival
Choir recorded various selections

The Student Senate has inquired
into the rationale that formed the
basis for the handling of the
false fire alarm quintet, and I am
delighted to respond.
A false alarm is an immediate
offense against three segments of
the population:
1. The dormitory, or those who
hear the alarm;
2. The college, or those whose rules
and constituency are affected; and
3. The community, or the civil

Washington, D.C., 20415,
before January 3, 1966, to enable
the candidate to take the 21/2 hour
written test which will be given in
various cities on a Saturday in late
January or early February of 1966.
The test, which is scheduled to
be given only once, is designed to
measure clerical skills, vocabulary,
reading comprehension, abstract
reasoning, and table and chart in-terpretation.
Sample questions will
be provided in advance.
All citizens will be given equal
opportunity to compete in the
nationwide examination. Those
who pass the test will be per-mitted
to file applications for
summer work with as many as
six Federal agencies or installa-tions.
Most opportunities for summer
jobs are expected to be in the
Washington, D.C. area.
The food service faces even
greater difficulties. Bodien dining
hall was built to feed almost ex-actly
as many students as it does
at each meal. Actually, if all stu-dents
on the meal plan ate at all
serving times, the dining halls
would be greatly overtaxed.
Fortunately, partial cures for the
feeding-housing problems will be
available next autumn. Three new
apartments on the seminary cam-pus
for married students, mostly
all of whom are seminarians, will
be completed by then. This will
leave present married housing open
entirely to college use.
Officials expect to move male
undergraduates into these apart-ments,
thus making residences and
cooking facilities available to them
at the same time.

academic facilities. The library

group whose property and property-protecting
apparatus is involved
or threatened.
The punishment of the group
then must answer to the nature of
the offense:
1. There must be some compensa-tion,
probably only symbolic in
nature, to the dormitory, as redress
for the wear and tear occasioned
by the nocturnal foray.
2. Some indication needs to be
made that the offenders have
slipped somewhere on the cor-tinuum
from "students in good
standing" to a status closer to
"individuals requested to dis-continue
schooling." In other
words, a certain amount of grace
has been exhausted, and closer
watch will be made to see what
future behavior is; also, that
behavior will be more rigorously
judged.
3. An effort must be made to
develop some insight into the prob-lems
of the larger community: few
college students see themselves as
part of St. Paul, and this omission
needs to be rectified.
Then there comes the problem
of the publicity for such an event.
The Student Service Office has
always taken the position that dis-ciplinary
matters should not be
widely heralded. Only those who
are directly associated with the
event and the offenders get word
from the Office.
Nevertheless, the student body,
the faculty, and the constituency
all have a stake in such matters,
and deserve to hear more than the
defensive, crusading reaction that
often characterizes offenders.

Heritage Evaluated For
`Social Consciousness'
The fourth session of the Vatican Council, which ended
last week, has already had a profound effect on Catholics and
Protestants alike. The religious liberty decree, guaranteeing
every man the right to believe according to his conscience,
is a major breakthrough in the Council's undertakings in the
interest of Christian unity.
On campus, Sherwood Wirt, the editor of Decision maga-zine,
seemed to be priming the pump by informing Monday's
chapel audience that young evangelicals are one of the most
ecumenically minded groups he knows.
Meanwhile, in explaining why the Vatican Council set
up branches of the church to carry on a dialog with other
Christians, other non-Christian religions and even with un-believers,
Francois Houtart, Friday's distinguished Roman
Catholic visitor, had said, "We have to see in the church
that we are living in a civilization of change and then to be
aware that all INSTITUTIONS wanting to be meaningful in
such a society must INSTITUTIONALIZE the possibility of
change." (italics mine)
On the other hand, the ecumenical-type thesis for Editor
Wirt's message on "Evangelicals' Social Consciousness" was,
"If the evangelical sense of fellowship is as wide as the love of
God in Christ, so is his social outlook."
Now the editor is glad for the spirit of Mr. Wirt's remarks,
but the concept of evangelical "social consciousness" as de-rived
from our "developing" ecumenical spirit is a little too
glibly drawn.
Evangelical Protestants bring an historically distinctive
socio-theological tradition to bear in dialog with, for example,
Roman Catholics: a conception of salvation as an INDIVI-DUAL,
personal, direct encounter with God.
A group of believers who call each other priests find it
hard to commend "social consciousness"-type programs as
other than "low ceiling-ed" unless they are predicated on
individual spiritual redemption.
Hopefully, it is with the twentieth century imperative
of finding theological rationale for "social consciousness"-type
programs in their own right that dialog with the post-conciliar
INSTITUTIONAL Roman Church may help us. The embryonic,
but popular, evangelical "social consciousness" needs at least
a degree of resolution for its intellectual schizophrenia.
Huxley's Post-World War 111 Satire
Is Attack On Scientism And Religion
by Fred Lund
"If this answer seems to you to
be too highly commendatory, do
not think we are just flattering.
We have had several students over
the past years, and are frank to
say that in some cases the effort
was in no way justified, and our
evaluation has been critical.
"I think I speak for my col-leagues
. . . when I say . . . were
all participants like this one, we
could give the program an unquali-fied
endorsement."
The above quotation from one
of the missionaries expresses the
sentiment of all. Each missionary
spoke very highly of the caliber
and attitude of the student per-sonnel.
They concluded that if
the Bethel program could send
students of this quality every
year, they would be more than
willing to continue with the pro-gram.
Such comments say a lot for last
year's selection committee in its
choice of personnel. These students
not only performed the task of
aiding in the field work whole-heartedly,
but demonstrated their
willingness to actively identify with
the people, greatly impressing the
missionaries.
A significant aim of this pro-gram
is to give students an op-portunity
to clarify their relation-ship
to the missionary enterprise.
Of the eight who went out, five
were planning on full-time mis-sionary
service before they left.
Four of these came back even
more commited to missionary
enterprise.
A fifth had his concept of for-eign

Aldous Huxley, Ape and Essence, Bantam
Books, New York, 1948.
Huxley employs biting Juvenal-ian
satire as he portrays post-World
War III man in Ape and Essence.
Scientism and religion come under
merciless attack. Although the
work is a fantasy, the reader must
ask himself how much truth under-lies
the society Huxley reveals.
Certainly the book is a warning.
Speaking through the guise of the
narrator, Huxley assesses the grim
result of collective insanity:
For this other death — not by
plague this time, not by poison,
not by fire, not by artificially
induced cancer, but by the squa-lid
disintegration of the very
substance of the species — this
gruesome and infinitely unher-oic
death in birth could as well
be the product of atomic indus-try
as of atomic war.
Huxley's mesage is powerful
and disturbing. Mistakes are real
and conceivably could result in
the war which has not yet been
fought.

that the author is more interested

"Ape and Essence," the title of
a movie script by William Tallis,
comes to the attention of Lou Lub-lin
Productions. Excited by the
poetic quality of such lines as
"Ends are ape-chosen; only the
means are man's," two film execu-tives
decide to look up Tallis. Un-fortunately
he is deceased. His
script, however, makes up the bulk
of the novel.
The year is 2108; the setting,
California following the cataclys-mic
war. The script opens with a
baboon-girl crooning these lyrics
to an audience of apes:
Love, Love, Love —
Love's the very essence
Of everything I think, of every-thing
I do.
Give me, Give me, Give me
Give me detumescence.
That means you.

vary." Aboard the ship are scien-tists
of the New Zealand Rediscov-ery
Expedition.
.Action centers around Dr. Al-fred
Poole (known as Stagnant
Poole), a botanist who persuades
Belial's Arch Vicar to spare his life
by promising to improve crops in
devastated California.
Poole, the son of a clergyman,
steps into a shocking society in
which Belial rules through fear
and force and in which all hu-man
desires are suppressed. It
is Belial Eve, time of the Puri-fication
Ceremonies. Loola ex-plains
to the uninitiated Poole,
"Hell, your priests don't let the
deformed babies go on living, do
they?"
According to Belial catechism,
Mother (Vessel of the Unholy
Spirit) is the curse of the race who
bears "this monstrous mockery of
a man." Atonement can be effected
only through blood. Hence this
liquidation.
Belial Day signals the opening
of the annual two week mating
season. All males go wild, tearing
off the women's red "NO, NO, NO"
patches and chastity aprons. Poole,
still struggling with his puritan
conscience, is repulsed by the orgy.
But he weakens at the sight
of Loola. "You're not like these
other people—thank God," he
tells her "You're still a human
being . . . with normal human
feelings."
Together they experience a re-fined
love, a redemption of sorts.
At the peril of their lives, they
flee from the dominion of Belial
across the California desert.
Poole and Loola look for the day
"when something stronger than He
(Belial)" will triumph. Loola lam-ents,
"But that's far away in the
future." Poole replies, "For the
whole world, yes. But not for sin-gle
individuals, not for you or me,
for example."
The scene draws neatly to its
conclusion as Poole and Loola,
staggering across the hot sands,
come upon the grave of William
Tallis. Lines from Shelley com-prise
his epitaph.
Poole recites the stanza follow-ing
that engraved on the stone:
That Light whose smile kindles
the Universe
. . . that sustaining Love .. .
The fire for which all thirst, now
beams on me
Consuming the last clouds of
cold mortality.
Meaning of life comes through
love — love qualitatively different
from that chanted by the baboon-girl
in the opening scene.
Huxley sets forth a strong plea
for individual and collective san-ity;
for serious appraisal of blind
faith—whether in progress, human
goodness, religious creed or what-ever.
The novelist conceives in fan-tasy.
But how real is his message?
If the seeds of Ape and Essence
mentality exist within us, wherein
lies redemption for humanity?

'Twas the Night Before Christmas
A drama in one act
Scene: a father is tucking his little daughter into bed and she looks up
into his eyes and asks —
Christina: Daddy?
Father: Yes, Christina.
Christina: Is there a Santa Claus?
Father: Of course there is, dear.
Christina: But, how come I never see him?
Father: He works very secretly while no one can see him. Don't worry
about not seeing him. You know he's been here by the presents
he's left.
Christina: But I don't get everything I ask him for in my letters.
Father: I know, but he's a pretty wise old man. He just gives you the
things you especially need. After all, he must take care of all the
other little children around the world.
Christina: Daddy, will Santa bring me presents this year?
Father: If you're good. Santa keeps track of what you do. Everyone knows
that he gives nice gifts to all the children who are nice little boys
and girls.
Christina: Why?
Father: I guess because he's such a loving and good fellow—sort of like
grandpa.
Christina: Oh. Daddy, why don't we hear about Santa except at Christmas?
Father: Well, honey, I guess that's the only time he is really busy. The
rest of the time he is at his home making toys and candy canes and
thinking nice things about good little girls like you. He's too nice to
interrupt our lives all through the year. He just watches.
Christina: Where is Santa's home?
Father: Far, far away, in a land of sparkling snow and candy floss. He
lives in a beautiful house with little elves working for him.
Christina: Daddy, are you sure there is a Santa?
Father: Yes, dear. Wherever the hearts of sweet little boys and girls
dream dreams and hope hopes, there is a Santa Claus. Just think
of all the wonderful things about Christmas—the lights, the tree,
the candy, the presents. Doesn't the warm glow of your heart tell
you there is a Santa?
Christina: I guess so. Thank you.
Father: Good night, dear.
Christina: Daddy?
E ather: What now.
Christina: Is there a God?
Father: Yes, Christina, there is a God. I just told you. Now, go to sleep.
God is dead!

elsewhere over the week-end.
Categories of competition in-cluded

Approximately 150 students en-tered
the tournament, represent-ing
schools such as Mankato

Minnesota-Wisconsin area.
Oral interpretation was the cate-gory
most widely entered, with
some 70 of the entrants competing
in this division.
Bethel entered only the oral
interpretation category and in
light of the above statistics, made
a very impressive showing. Jill

Daryl Berg's 1-12 preliminary

Plan Presentation At Southdale
The Cumberland Singers will
present a joint program with the
Tyler Choralaires in the mall of
Southdale Shopping Center Mon-day,
December 20 at 4p.m. They
are also scheduled to appear on
the Newtime Program at the
University of Minnesota's Coff-man
Union January 12.
The Cumberland Singers began
as a trio two years ago. Before
Phil Bolinder left the group last
summer, they sang at the 1964
Yankton College Folk Festival and
they are featured on a record
album made of the festival.
T. Harrison Bryant and Richard
Fredrickson sing exclusively folk
music for high school, college,
civic, and youth groups. Last week
they did three shows Saturday and
Sunday nights at the Extempore
Coffee House.
The Cumberland Singers are
currently planning to sing at
Southdale at Christmas time.
They hope to go on tour later
this year.
They don't copy songs from rec-ords,
but use the impressions and
ideas they pick up in arranging
their own. Beyond their originality
in arranging, Tuffy and Dick write
some of their own songs. Also in-cluded
in their programs of tra-ditional
and contemporary folk mu-sic
are some new and relatively
unknown songs.
Tuffy and Dick are not trying to
be a gospel team; they entertain

Rearrangement of shelves will
allow for the addition of 20,000
new volumes, considered an im-portant
need by the administra-tors
and students as well. This is
only a beginning, however; the
book budget for next year is double
that of this year.
In the college building, class-rooms
are being used to capacity,
in terms of the Bethel curricular
program, except for the 3:30 hour
in the afternoon. The biology labs
are working to capacity.
It is in the face of these crowded
situations that Bethel administra-tors
and the Board of Education
see the need for restriction of
enrollment. Both the ingenuity of
Bethel professors in handling of
unideal facilities and the record
of students for living off-campus
are commendable.

Show 'Parable'
The Bethel College Royal Play-ers
will sponsor "Parable", a
thought-provoking religious film,
on campus January 11. Following
the film a panel, composed of Dr.
Dalphy Fagerstrom, Mr. Robert C.
Nelson, Rev. Albert M. Windom,
pastor of Bethany Baptist Church,
and senior Bob Drake will discuss
the film.
"The Parable", according to Bob
Drake, is an attempted explana-tion
which takes place in the
heart of man when he receives,
that is, "accepts" salvation. "It is
an anthropological, ethical, inter-pretation
of salvation; it illustrates
the role of the believer once he
has entered the Christian dimen-sion."
Students are encouraged to in-teract
during the panel discussion.

with what they think is meaningful
music. Folk music talks about real
problems and experiences that real
people have. Songs culminate from
years of hatred, love, and war. The
writer composes out of a sensi-tivity
for people's feelings.
While the Cumberland Singers
entertain primarily for secular
college and high school groups,
they enjoy singing for church
gatherings where they can tie
something spiritual into their
presentations.
They sang at the Moundsview
High School homecoming and were
asked back the following year for
Sadie Hawkins Day. They've sung
for Young Life Groups at Harding,
Ramsey, and Anoka High Schools.
They've had several concerts in
western Minnesota and one at
Augsburg College. In Benson,
Minnesota, they presented a con-cert
and sang on the local radio
station.
On the Bethel Campus they have
entertained at homecoming events,
various mixers, and the Freshman-
Sophomore Party. Several faculty
members have hired them for small
gatherings. They are building up
a reputation entertaining private
parties.

of the Cumberland Singers, says:

If last week's intramural bas-ketball
was any indication of what
is in store for the rest of the
season, we can predict a great
fight for the championship. Two
games were decided by one point,
another by three, and a fourth was
not completed because of an in-jury.
The Counts, with three players
in double figures, outplayed the
Barons to win 61-47. A great in-dividual
effort was made by Paul
Johnson, who scored 21 points in
the winning cause.
Bill Malyon of the Knights was
high scorer of the night with 22
points, but it was in a losing
cause as the Dukes held onto the
ball in the last few seconds and
won 54-51. Tom Anderson and
Rich Theil led the Dukes with 17
and 12 points respectively.
The Squires, in a very hard
fought game, overcame the Peas-ants
by one point, 49-48. Terry
Muck, the Squire's lirst round
Wednesday, December 15, 1965
draft choice, led the team with 12
points and came up with some key
plays in the closing minutes.
The Peasants took an early lead
but were unable to hold it. Again
at the half the Peasants went out
in front by a considerable margin,
but the Squires came back to win
in the final few seconds.
The Jesters, led by Paul and
Phil Wicklund, overcame the de-fending
champion Pages by the
score of 40-39. The Pages were
troubled with fouls, as high scor-er
Dave Anderson and captain
John Carmean fouled out in the
closing minutes of the game.
The Faculty led the Seminary
by ten points, but Coach Healy
was injured and because it was
impossible to remove him from the
floor immediately the game was
cancelled.
All these games can only point
to one thing, this year will be a
thrilling year for Intramural Bas-ketball.
Women Cagers
Win First Game
The women's basketball team
played their first game Thursday
evening at Northwestern College
of Minneapolis, winning 42-31.
With the score tied at 27 points
at the end of the third quarter,
Bethel raced ahead with a free
throw and three consecutive field
goals made by Barb Lindman.
Holding Northwestern to 31
points, Bethel made four more field
goals to win the game.

The alert Bethel Royals employ-ed
a pressing defense and dis-played
fine scoring balance to de-feat
Wahpeton Science 82-71. The
win put the Royals at the 2-3 mark
for the season.
Bethel jumped off to a 3-0 lead,
but the two teams traded buckets
until the score was knotted at
nine-all after six minutes. From
this stage the Royals were never
behind although the stubborn
"Wahpetonites" closed the gap to
one point at 23-22 with nine min-utes
remaining in the first half.
BETHEL TROUNCES
EAU CLAIRE
The Bethel Royals, shooting at
the rate of 50% played superb
basketball, walking off with a
110.84 victory over Eau Claire.
The Royals were lead by Ron
Pederson with 31 points. All five
starters scored in double figures
with four of them over 20. The
Royals controlled the rebounds,
getting 60 to Eau Claire's 45.
They also played good defense,
stealing the ball 12 times in the
first half.
Within the next six minutes, a
George Palke-led surge shot the
Royals out in front to the tune
of 40-27. Shortly after, Bethel
went to the dressing room with
a 43-33 halftime margin.
Freshman Ron Pederson and Jun-ior
Cabot Dow led an early second
half spurt to give the Royals their
biggest edge at 65-48 with 13 min-utes
to play.
Wahpeton was hurt somewhat
at this juncture when its ace re-bounder
Tom Hagen picked up his
fourth foul. Hagen led all the re-bounders
with 16, and showed
some fine moves while scoring 15
points.
Both Dow and Jerry Moulton
rifled in from the outside to
enable Pederson and Palke to
score from the inside. While Ped-erson
and Palke led the Bethel
scoring parade with 17 and 16
points respectively, it was the
fine play of reserve guard Cabot
Dow on defense as well as of-fense,
that pleased assistant
coach Lee Bajuniemi.
On the attack Dow bombed most
of his 12 points from the outside;
while on defense, he stole the ball
numerous times and prevented sev-eral
sure Wahpeton buckets. Jerry
Moulton also hit double figures
with 11, and in addition every
Royal scored who saw action.
This strong balance, however,
was needed to offset the stellar
21 point performance of John Nord-gaard,
who was a constant pest to
the Royal defense.
While Wahpeton took 85 shots
and potted 25 for 29.8%, Bethel
took 80 shots and sent 29 home
for 36.3%.
Coach Bajuniemi (filling in for
cast-laden Coach Healy), noted in
addition to his team's overall bal-ance
and fine defense, that the
Royals quick and accurate passing,
forced the Redmen of Wahpeton
to come out of their zone defense
shortly before intermission.

If you haven't already heard,
Bethel's wrestlers lost their first
match to St. Thomas by a score
of 9-14 Dec. 7.
Going into the match the 123
pound wrestler, Bob Baffa, thought
that he had a forfeit because it
appeared St. Thomas didn't have
a 123 pound wrestler. The way it
turned out, Baffa should have for-feited.
He lost by a pin in the
second period.
Denny Nyholm grappled to a
6-3 loss in the 130 pound class.
Ron Harris duplicated Baffa's
feat in about the same time of
the third period. Mike Warring
put the Royal matmen on the
right track by winning his match
5-0 in a very determined effort.
Danny Wilson achieved the only
pin for Bethel in the 152 pound
class by putting his man away in
the third period. Paul Anderson
tried and tried to get a pin for
Bethel but had to be satisfied with
a 7-2 victory.
John Benson, showing the
strength of a bull, beat his man
on points to make the score St.
Thomas 13; Bethel 14. Bruce Arm-strong
showed determination and
aggressiveness, but lost his match
6-4 to give St. Thomas a two point
lead.
Warren Johnson ended Bethel's
chances by losing a close match
3-1. This gives Bethel wrestlers
a 1 win and 1 loss record.
Wednesday, Dec. 15, they will
meet Riverfalls at Riverfalls. They
hope to give the home fans some-thing
to come out and see at
their first home match against
Northland, January 8, 1966.
Royals Display Scoring Balance
In Win Over Wahpeton Science
by Bob Baffa
It looks as if Bethel is having a rough time this year in mustering
together a winning team. Neither the football or cross country teams
could manage a .500 season. To date Bethel's basketball and wrestling
teams aren't fairing over .500.
But don't lose faith! There's one team that is undefeated (as of
this writing). If you haven't guessed it already, I'm going to tell you.
It's the girl's basketball team.
We don't know for certain if it's because of hard practices, rough
play, or fear. But we do know that before each game each of these
girls reads a poem called "Thinking." It goes like this:
If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you like to win, but think you can't
It's almost certain, you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost,
For out of the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will,
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you are out-classed, you are.
You've got to think to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself,
Before you can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or the faster man,
But, soon or late, the man who wins,
Is the man who thinks he can.
Take heart fellows! The basketball and wrestling seasons have just
begun. You're not licked yet! But if you think you are . . .
